Why Pink Diamond Looks Different From Her Mural REVEALED!? [Steven Universe Stranded Theory]

Pink Diamond's appearance is very different from her mural depiction, but what if the reason for this goes deeper than initially conceived?

Honestly, the mural depiction is just stylised. And this video is exagerating. Of course it looks like her but it's not meant to be realistic.

[@Xxsorafan]

She could be defective, diamonds could be a fusion, or the mural is just idealized versions of the diamonds similar to how art of famous people especially in the past were idealized versions of them. Who knows

[@thetwilighthunter1150]

Theory: what if pink Diamond changed her appearance due to maturity Spinel's flashback in the movie: I'm about to end this man's whole career

[@ernovincze2900]

No, Spinel's flashback takes place at the time Pink got the Earth colony, so by this theory she should still be her "poofy" look. What ended "this man's whole career" is the whole "Pink is Rose" thing.

[@Huckleberry87]

I figured Pinks mural is propaganda. Pharaohs didn't have themselves painted true to life, they were painted like gods. And I always thought Blue was wearing her veil in her mural. Yellow is super confidant, so she doesn't need much embellishing on her mural, but if Pink is an off-color, and you don't want the masses to know that, you definitely don't paint her as small and cute.

[@winterwemoon3645]

First of all, PINK isn't DEFECTIVE. She is the only Pink Diamond in existence. PLUS the idea of Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond was thought of before the series started. It would be impossible for a MASSIVE towering Diamond, with a gemstone as large as Steven, could shapeshift into an average soldier with a gemstone smaller than expected. Shapeshifting cannot change the gemstone's size. I mean like her gem is noticeably smaller than Blue and Yellow's. That means, it is her gem that caused her to have that form. It was intended for her form to be like that. Their gems formed before they are injected into the ground (possibly), and so, it is expected for Pink to be small. Take White Diamond as an example. She is MASSIVE, towering over her fellow matriarchs. Which could mean she is the oldest of the Diamond Authority. Also, Pink is the youngest, so my theory: White created Yellow and Blue, but slightly shorter than her, to help her colonize more planets. And then they created Pink. So they could tell who was the oldest, and who was younger. Maybe.... just maybe. Second, take a look at the murals. They were more of like, sharp and full of lines. If you could analyze it, it kind of looks like Pink's hair, only made more dramatic with sharp edges. So there's no bigger picture here. It was just the result of a overly dramatic impression of their Diamond, made with sharp lines, as they couldn't do her signature fluffy and puffy hair. I HAVE MORE EVIDENCE! During "The Trial", Blue Pearl was drawing, but guess what, it was made more with STRAIGHT LINES!

[@emmar.1008]

Honestly that’s that I thought too when pink diamonds final design was shown. I always just figured they did it to make sure they didn’t show weakness

[@cyn379]

Huckleberry87 same

[@georgercop]

I thought it was just an age thing. White is the oldest, so is the largest, Yellow and Blue are about the same age, and Pink is the youngest. In flashbacks, Amethyst was shown to be in "toddler" forms, and is currently in a more teenage form, because she's gained experience and has simply lived longer, and naturally settles on an older body. Pink's mural also could have been indicative of what she could eventually look like, having matured and grown into her matriarchal role. She just never reached that stage as a Diamond.

[@thalassaer4137]

Basically, propaganda to show power and authority to the gems. Like the ancient Egyptians did to their people.

[@wildcats-ji8in]

"I'm not saying steven is pink diamond..." Steven : *nervous chuckles*

[@emerald9238]

I think that the pink diamond in garnets flashback was the way Steven thought she looked. It makes sense because he has only seen her mural and associated the mural with pink diamonds look

[@bskec2177]

I agree - especially since Garnet appears in the image, but did not arrive until after Pink was shattered, and Blue was in charge. That means that particular image is stevens creation, and not historical fact.

[@GennyKaneshiro]

I never thought of that omg!!!!!

[@RogueLola]

Also, Pearl isn't using her sword, like she did in Garnet's The Answer flashback, but the spear Steven knows her to use when fighting other gems. But I still think it's possible she changed from the bratty child portrayed to something else later on.

[@ineedpills7127]

after poofing at the "shattering" event, what if Pink just reformed as Rose, instead of having to be shapeshifted all the time? seems easier, and not as difficult to maintain.

[@silentobserver4839]

You were right!

[@_potatobag]

That’s what she did. That’s why she says “Soon it will be just.. Rose.” And why when Pink Steven was forming, there was a brief moment where we could see Rose - that was one of Pink’s Reformations. She reformed as Rose.

[@Lillyluvsanime]

SPOILER TO THE FINAL TO STEVE UNIVERSE: Honestly I think now that Pink Diamond's pic with pointy hair was the time when she had so many tantrums.

[@daylamore3300]

That makes the most sense. I’ve been rewatching the show and it seems Pink was way more prone to tantrums and emotional outbursts. While the other diamonds choose to hold their heads high in absolute royalty. They are so dry and cold. Lol also in flashbacks with the pointy hair, Pink was usually wildin. Lol fighting and starting wars…. What if Pink’s mural was painted later? Like after the war…later. It would make sense why her silhouette is the only one floating toward the sky. Which lowkey looks angelic and like she’s deceased.

[@candlelight5028]

[@peachpie3597]

Nah I think homeworld did the mural as propaganda and made her look how she's "supposed" to look

[@shadowcArey]

@@peachpie3597 Pink is not a defective Diamond, she’s supposed to look the way she looks.

[@BlueBerry20071]

No, she is. When white diamond is embarassed, the other gems say "she's off-color." Pink diamons are chemically identical to white diamonds. They have no impurities, but the extreme stress they form under warp their crystal lattice into warping light into a pink hue. Pink diamonds are off color whites. ​@shadowcArey

[@UrFavSangheili]

it's a reference to the dragon ball series, when characters go "super saiyan" or become more powerful their hair sticks straight up all pointy like.

[@abrokatec]

I think the mural looks different because the diamonds just don't want gems thinking she's weak or defective

[@InfiniteTangents]

Andrea Brokate I was thinking that too because Homeworld seems like North Korea, the previous monarchs would want to embellish in regards to the future monarch.

[@evannn6277]

or maybe since the show is story board driven, they just clanged the design

[@jasper-ix4gg]

But honestly though, can't gems change appearances? She just probably got a more empowering get up once she got a colony it happens.

[@kokolio4453]

I know this is veryyyyy late but what i think is that: Those murals are more of artistic choices since they *don't* represente the accurate appearence of the diamonds,However, i think pink diamond was represented in a more *mature* appearence to emphasize the fact that tge crystal gems feared her and thought of her as a danger threatening earth, but they never thought she would be that innocent, cute and bubbly...i think the point of the murals is to communicate the impression that the diamonds are something huge, holy and very special like a set of gods, of course it won't be represented 100% in details.

[@Momokitty1992]

I always thought the crystal gems had never actually SEEN Pink diamond, the flashback was metaphorical for fighting her armies. After all, in Garnets stories she depicts her as large, and she always looks like her mural in those scenes. most notable in the scene when she's telling the story to the offcolors and she shows Pink as giant compared to Rose. I mean as a diamond she wouldn't be expected to personally go and fight, she was even not allowed to go down to the earth, just stay in her moon base.

[@Gabriel90000]

But obviously he is tho

[@CraftyCrochetAndArt]

It is also quite possible that the diamonds were disappointed in her appearance and because of that, they made are her looks and designs bigger and better in the murals. I believe this was also done in the how to train your dragon cartoon series wherein a leader was shown as buff and big in a family portrait but was actually weak and scrawny like Hiccup. This could also explain why she's so upset with them. If they had done this before, she would know how they wanted her to be and be angry at them for not accepting her.

[@holifishuwu4341]

Crafty That doesn’t explain Garnet’s flashback in Gemcation.

[@Huckleberry87]

It is the only hiccup, but consider this. That flashback is a description by Garnet, the image we see, is how Steven is imagining it, and at that time, his only visual of Pink is the mural.

[@rynobehnke8289]

The Flashback can't be accurate anyway because Pink as a completely wrong gem but in this flashback.

[@nat-oi2fh]

Frosty Dawn Garnets flashback wasnt her flashback necessarily. She was talking about pink diamond to Steven, and we were seeing Steven imagine her. And you usually imagine things that you have not seen from past experiences. Aka the mural

[@sophiabrun4406]

I agree. I think it’s highly possible that maybe Pink made the diamonds picture her that way because she was ashamed of herself. We see her being portrayed as a child wanting to be taken seriously so I think she wanted the mural to be showing her in a way that made her look like on the same level as the other diamonds since she too is a diamond.

[@vypervikram2390]

Blue diamonds hair is long and wavy in the mural but now is blocky and shorter. It's closer to her body. What if her hair connects to her emotions just like how pink diamonds powers were based on emotions. In the episode, the trial, her hair flares up when she uses her special diamond power. So when it's out and wavy back then, it shows she was powerful yet eligent. But after pinks "death" her hair formed shorter to represent her lack in self motivation and it's attached to her like that to show how close she felt to pink diamond. But when she uses her power to force gems to cry, it returns to it's old state until she ends the sadness wave. Is this a good theory or no?

[@Chelsea-se5vh]

I guess I’m the only one who thinks she actually looks right based on old hieroglyphic-type stuff bc everything is rather jagged and pharaohs and God’s were always portrayed as strong and powerful so a Diamond, being a leader of gems, would fit in a way that they just look powerful in murals?? So her softer rounded edges would translate easily when carving a mural into stone?? I don’t really know tho I guess lmao

[@LiamLightwolf]

Not to mention, iirc, artists during that time also made the pharaohs look more... _perfect?_ At least where perceived physical flaws (weak chins, lack of apparent physical strength --- such as muscles ---, etc.) were concerned

[@pichiu2715]

i agree! yellow diamond’s actual appearance seems as though she already emulates what would be in these stone carvings, but because pink is not similar to what a stone carving would look like, the style in it is different. that’s just my thoughts.

[@caracalfeather]

Pink seems bigger in her mural. What if she was the one who created limb enhancers for her self, but as new generation gems formed, she used them on her new gems like peridot?

[@derrickday8126]

Peridot is/was under Yellow Diamond's court, so all Peridots are under Yellow.

[@thebutterflywizardess8042]

Derrick Day but don't both diamonds use Rubies and Pearls? Maybe they both use Peridots too.

[@kanduyog1182]

[@SilverXtreeem]

Vivalcil that’s a great theory!!

[@lordexohunter558]

It would probably be an experimental limb enhancer because as far as we know no other diamond needs limb enhancers, thus meaning said technology could have been tamperd with leading to pink diamond being smashed.

[@felipevasconcelos6736]

What if limb enhancers were invented because so Pink could appear in public diamond-sized, and her true smallness was kept from Homeworld?

[@tune8407]

It would of been limb enhancers during the war so that kind of debunks that. Pearl or Garnet wouldnt have been surprised when they took her peridot foot.

[@daliaMirgani]

[@1tingWasEnough]

I already thought pink would look different.. That because yellow was represented by Connie's mom. Because it is a fusion, the dream/vision changes.

Well, gems look like their mind set so maybe after pink's death blue's hair turned white like how humans get white when they are old. It's like how the crystal gems all apear older after rose's death

[@ok-op8lg]

Susannah J. Stafford They looked old after Rose's Death just because the Gems were trying to fit in with the Human Race. Like Garnet had a loose short-sleeved blouse, which was popular in the 80's. And Pearl had a crazy hairstyle, along with legwarmers, which were really popular from the 70's to the 2000's. Amethyst had a black shirt with a purple tanktop, a popular outfit for children of the 80's. And in the 1700's, it was shown that Pearl had a coat with a large tissue used as a scarf, along with an aristocratic wig, which was a noble outfit from the 1690's to the 1820's. And Garnet had the same coat, but with pirate gloves and a tricorn, a hat that was worn from the 1480's to the 1860's, and it menat taht you were a navigator. And Amethyst had a classic ship captain outfit, similar to the 1760's and 1890's sailor. And now, Amethyst wears a shoulderstrap, a -dieing- slightly less popular trend for teenage girls, and Pearl wears a rather fancy but casual outfit and so does Garnet.

“I’m not saying Steven is pink diamond” *Single pale rose* Everybody: REEEEEE!!!!!

[@23Pinicale]

I believe the first appearance of Pink Diamond is her "Uncut" form. She's young maybe newly emerged and her form hasn't been through her "Gridling".

[@23Pinicale]

Pink Diamond will probably take on a different form after meeting White Diamond. If the two hadn't meet by the time of her first appearance.

[@squeakboy3666]

maybe meeting white diamond will make her more mature gems age based on their mentality, and pink is pretty much a child so if meeting white diamond makes her realize what a diamond 'should' be like, she'd become normal diamond size and look more like her mural

[@sawyergibbons373]

I mean maybe but every other gem comes out how they look always, like how jaspers emerged form was the same from her hole

[@daneiltherat2327]

Sawyer Gibbons it was probably just her finding her form. Deciding what to look like. Essentially she was being born.

[@vee7940]

I agree somewhat with the maturing theory -- I think Pink's design from the dream we saw and the mural are from different times. I think that Pink's design from the dream was a little bit after when she was first created because we know she didn't have any colonies yet. I feel that as time progressed, she changed the way she looked to "fit in" with the other diamonds. I think she was still the bubbly, eager, diamond we saw in the dream, however, she had to act mature and look mature so she could gain approval of the other diamonds. She would do this because Yellow had said to start acting like she was just as important as the others, so she had every motive to "fit in." The murals also could've been made when each diamonds received their colonies. I honestly think I put too much thought into one little comment, but who agrees/disagrees with me?

I don't think what we see in Blue's mural is her old hair... I'm pretty sure it's just the veil.

[@araa5422]

isn't that also her veil?

[@emicat717]

What if with Pink's death her hair turned light? What if her mural was correct and she had darker hair in the beginning but then it changed to light because of the death of pink

[@ok-op8lg]

Enzo 2206 Blue D's hair is white.

[@sajverse]

Hmm.. I believe that the Crewniverse confirmed that it was an earlier version where they still haven't figured her appearance. But I like this idea more. I also thought about it. It is a cool theory that her hair turned white after Pink's death, as well.

[@mrs.cookiebun521]

I had a thought that pink diamond changers her look (like the mural) later to appear more "ground up" as the hair of pink diamond on the mural is simlar to yellow diamond.

[@elizabethnelson7295]

The moment you are talking about Steven and pink (aka history repeats it's self) a thought can to me. What if the show leads up to a point when Steven himself gets shatter as well or almost. Or he will come to the point where he will be the eyes of pink and watch what happens to her. Kinda like the jungle moon.

[@doctorj5009]

Elizabeth Nelson good theory

[@captainwest8916]

If Steven ever grows up and has a kid the same thing that happened to rose will prob happen to him. He will no longer exist.

[@magicaldogester3578]

except for the fact that Steven is male, so his gem cannot in anyway >enter his partner's you-know-what. so I believe that the child won't have a gem but will have gem powers, ooooor simply Stev's infertile

[@Stinkymf]

7:19 he has a neck..... AND A PINK JACKET STEVEN UNIVERSE FUTURE EXISTED BEFORE WE EVEN KNEW IT

[@RedAmalgam2000]

I agree with this theory and also just to add on....based on the episode ‘The Trial’ we know that changing ones form as a gem isn’t an unfamiliar concept to the Diamonds. When Yellow Diamond saw Steven for the first time she exclaimed “Is that Rose Quartz?! Look at that hideous form she’s taken!” Neither of the Diamonds doubted that Steven was in fact Rose; they just went along with it as if it’s something that’s a common occurrence.

[@DaBingas]

I think she's a defect in the sense she has no power. So far she's the only diamond who needed to use weapons in battle. Both of the other diamonds have natural abilities while she needs tools

[@oakeii]

yellow doesn't have a helmet, it's actually just her hair. very angular, so i'd understand why you would think its a helmet.

[@carsonh7222]

There was actually a creator of the show that stated it was Yellow Diamond's helmet, not her hair. It is confirmed to be a helmet.

[@winterdreambell]

Everything Daily It's not a helmet, it has been confirmed

[@ashlynstout2858]

It’s true it is a helmet. Sugar stated this and we can see that it’s not actually hair but something covering it I.e. a helmet in the jungle moon episode with Connie’s mom/yellow diamond vision.

[@KellySmith555]

I'm curious why Jasper loved Pink Diamond so much if pink was off-color? Jasper is ALL about being perfect. If she knew her diamond was defective, she'd never be so hateful towards imperfections...right? Maybe, Jasper and most of Pink's gems didn't know she was defective, so they made murals that made her look perfect, when she clearly wasn't.

[@tialeweirdo1769]

Well most gems are super loyal to their diamonds, even when they first emerge. Look at Peridot, she was loyal to Yellow for a while before jumping ship.

[@winterwemoon3645]

First of all, PINK isn't DEFECTIVE. She is the only Pink Diamond in existence. PLUS the idea of Rose Quartz was actually Pink Diamond was thought of before the series started. It would be impossible for a MASSIVE towering Diamond, with a gemstone as large as Steven, could shapeshift into an average soldier with a gemstone smaller than expected. Shapeshifting cannot change the gemstone's size. I mean like her gem is noticeably smaller than Blue and Yellow's. That means, it is her gem that caused her to have that form. It was intended for her form to be like that. Their gems formed before they are injected into the ground (possibly), and so, it is expected for Pink to be small. Take White Diamond as an example. She is MASSIVE, towering over her fellow matriarchs. Which could mean she is the oldest of the Diamond Authority. Also, Pink is the youngest, so my theory: White created Yellow and Blue, but slightly shorter than her, to help her colonize more planets. And then they created Pink. So they could tell who was the oldest, and who was younger. Maybe.... just maybe. Second, take a look at the murals. They were more of like, sharp and full of lines. If you could analyze it, it kind of looks like Pink's hair, only made more dramatic with sharp edges. So there's no bigger picture here. It was just the result of a overly dramatic impression of their Diamond, made with sharp lines, as they couldn't do her signature fluffy and puffy hair. I HAVE MORE EVIDENCE! During "The Trial", Blue Pearl was drawing, but guess what, it was made more with STRAIGHT LINES!

[@yekatya_5230]

KellySmith555 maybe she loves pink the way pearl does?? Like she loves pink because pink is her diamond. And she knows she is off-color and knows the pain that must bring to pink. So she feels that perfection is really important so gems dont have to go through that??

[@treylach748]

I’m not a die hard or to keen, but I suspect that the gems who created the murals created it as propaganda to show this defective gem as a powerful leader, having the gems who don’t know pink diamond think she is like the other diamonds. Just my thought and maybe others reading this might agree/disagree!!!

[@blootube97]

HingedWand GameOn then explain why Garnet’s flashback had pink diamond look like the mural when they were fighting her 🤔

[@treylach748]

Hamtaro perhaps pink was fused, but I think that’s highly unlikely. What I think is either A: Garnet was still fairly new to fusion and still had trouble perceiving things and paired with Ruby’s emotions portrayed her in a more menacing light, or B: simply had a higher ground and perspective led her to appear bigger than normal. Thank you for pointing that out though

[@blootube97]

HingedWand GameOn I guess you have good points but in my opinion, I just think it’s a continuity error :p

[@treylach748]

Hamtaro that’s the best part is hearing others opinions!

[@izzymcgee2527]

Speaking of the Diamonds, am I the only one who noticed the multiple instances of Diamond imagery on Stevonnie and Connie? (Mindful Education and Stranded). I think it's foreshadowing the flashbacks of Pink Diamond; Yellow first, Blue second, and White third.

[@katkarma5708]

I actually think that rose might have at one time been pink diamond but pink was an off color so to get away from the shame and the other diamonds she faked her death by proofing herself and rotating her gemstone when she reformed looking like a rose quartz and the top of her gemstone facing outwards so it looks like a rose quartz and then as rose quartz claiming to have shattered pink diamond

The reason blue diamond's hair is white and not dark blue from the mural is because most of the darker colors represent light ones and vise versa.

[@myrtlejones28]

Fuu2 For prez I like pink diamond with spiky hair better.

[@Miliworm_island]

I thought that maybe Blue's hair changed to white because of grief after Pink was shattered.

[@ms_sk3tch59]

Amy Bradford that's a good answer too, I just don't know for sure since gems might not respond to stress the same way humans do

[@DeeFig66]

Maybe the mural depicts her wearing her shawl over her head like when we first encounter her? Though her hair should have popped out of the bottom with the weird chest window. lol. Unless she simply didn't have that hair cut in the past. (As we've seen from Pearl and Amethyst and Garnet, gems can change hair cuts.)

What if she WAS shapeshifting and as Rose was planning to poof Pink Diamond but as she was going to poof her the pressure of shapeshifting finally caught up to her and she just naturally shattered leaving people to believe Rose did it (I'm probably completely wrong but whatever)

[@peachy_peach5684]

But eyeball saw everything so probably wrong

[@yaneze8055]

Ëdwīñ Ø or maybe she just saw what looked like her shattering Pink from one angle because it is said the sword couldn't shatter a diamond

[@majosullivan]

Honestly when first thinking about this, my mind went straight to pass monarchy portraits. Back in olden times, the people of the country extremely rarely or never saw the monarch (king or queen at the time), so a way for them and other countries to see what the King or Queen looks like was through portraits. For example, Elizabeth I, was extremely clever in how her portraits showed her, including items that showed her power and leadership over the country, presenting her a a strong, beautiful ruler. It was a common use of Kings and queens as a strong leader, equals to a strong country. I believe that it would be safe to assume that the common gem would very rarely or never see the diamonds. Only gems that were close to the diamonds would actually see them. As how pink diamond is, it would be safe to assume that the diamonds would definitely not want her to be seen as it would show a them in a lower power that even a diamond could come out wrong. I believe that as pink was taken more seriously and given the earth, she designed or had something else design, the image we see at the moon base (possibly shape shifting in to what she want gems to see her as) The reason for this is so that she would be looked down on by homeworld, being seen as a weak gem and ruler. She didn’t want the same opinion of what the gems had on her as what the diamonds had on her, but that’s just my little theory (Forgive me of my grammar not being the best)

[@lapislazuli3286]

What if blue self poofed due to pinks demise. Maybe that's why she looks different from her mural.

[@aoife7441]

You know how peridot had extensions maybe pink diamond had extensions just like Peridot just a thought

[@StellarAedifex]

Hey Vox, I think you'll be interested in this; In Jungle Moon. If we compare the sizes of Yellow Diamond, Pink Diamond, and Stevonnie. You can sort of see that Yellow actually seems smaller than she does in other episodes like The Trial. And since Pink is so much smaller than we see her depicted later on, I think this; What if a diamond's size is determined by their power? Those with more power, colonies, and soldiers, may physically be bigger.

[@misii7150]

Well the Pink Diamond we saw in the latest episode could have been young, she did act like a young upset kid, and could have grown out of her short hair just like Amethyst did. When we saw her in earlier episodes with flashbacks Amethyst had short hair and now her hair is long.

[@odysii7104]

I completely forgot about that! That's a good point. Hair length/style seems to be changeable for all gems, diamonds included. And if Blue is anything to go by, the diamonds wear removable clothes as well. It wouldn't be too far-fetched to theorize that Pink just grew her hair and changed her appearance to seem more mature over time.

[@neildulake]

[@krahen7236]

[@samvidas9599]

Now that we know about Rose's identity, maybe we can add onto this theory. Maybe, when she first began her double life, Pink Diamond started purposely making her form more aggressive and easy to hate when she was "battling" the Crystal Gems so as to elevate the war. They might expand on this more within the show, who knows? Love your videos, by the way. Keep it up!

[@outofnowhere4398]

Did anyone realize pink diamonds pelaqine is much bigger than herself in the dream 🤔🤓

[@oakeii]

i think that that was from thousands of years ago, and possibly the diamonds can increase in size depending on how powerful they are at that time. yellow diamond in the flashback actually looked smaller than she did in the trial. pink diamond may have gained more power and grew larger because of it, or she chose to wear limb enhancers in order to make herself look a lot larger?? her hair in the mural also was a lot longer, so another reason why i think the flashback was from thousands of years ago.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

Well to be fair The Crewniverse has been known to have inconsistent sizes between episodes since Rebecca Sugar has been too liberal of the animators going off model.

[@bskec2177]

It's Stevonnie's dream, so she appears Stevonnie's size. Maybe? The damage to the dome is Stevonnie's hieght as well... Is Pink immature? Do Diamonds need to age after they "emmerge"?

[@destroyerblackdragon]

In the Flash Backs Amethyst looked like a little girl so I think Gems can mature or maybe it's just a continuity error.

[@bskec2177]

She looks like a little girl, but her size remains the same. At least I think so, Rose is huge, but the show draws everyone else smaller to show the scale, and that can throw some things off. Still, Pearl and Garnets appearance show change over time, so Amythist and Pinks basic appearance can change as well, but their hieght stays the same. Mostly.

Actually, Rebecca Sugar has confirmed that Yellow Diamond's head is, in fact, hair.

[@GarryDumblowski]

I've always had a theory that the Blue Diamond mural reflected who she was before she lost her fellow Gem. Both the hair and dress seem more... open, like she's still a gentler kind of gem like she is now, but more relaxed and somewhat happier. In addition, this could represent her having a more open-book like personality, where she was actually out there and interacting with other gems, as opposed to the current design where she is dressed so conservatively, and her hair wraps around her chest, covering herself. I dunno, it's just a little trend in designs that I thought would be neat, I'm not really that good at describing this stuff.
